More Californians Skipping DMV Lines

The California Department of Motor Vehicles says more people went online to conduct business last year than ever before.

There were nearly 12 million transactions in 2012 -up six
percent from the year before. Requests for new identification
cards and driver records were among the transactions gaining in
popularity.

Jessica Gonzalez with DMV says more than three-quarters of a
million people also used the DMV's online system…at DMV
branches, "Instead of waiting in line, you can go over to the
terminal, renew your registration on your own, and that was up
nearly 65 percent from last year."

Gonzalez says there were more online transactions in every
category and that overall usage has increased every year since the
DMV started offering online service.
